Mecbo America Unleashes Tracked Concrete Pumps for the Modern Jobsite
In a bold move that signals a new era for concrete pumping in the Americas, Mecbo America, the newly formed division of Blastcrete Equipment LLC through a strategic partnership with Italy-based Mecbo Srl — has introduced two ground-breaking machines to the US market: the CARTRACK P6 and P7.
These track-mounted concrete pumps aren’t just about brute strength. They’re about versatility, reliability and putting control back in the hands of operators.
By marrying Mecbo’s renowned pump technology with Blastcrete’s extensive distribution and support network, contractors across North, Central and South America can now access what is arguably one of the most robust and intuitive pump systems available.
Built for Mobility, Engineered for Performance
At the heart of the CARTRACK P6 and P7 is a powerhouse. The P6 offers 150 horsepower, while the P7 punches harder with 180 horsepower. Both machines deliver output rates ranging from 104 to 144 cubic yards per hour. Whether you’re tackling continuous flight augering, deep foundation drilling, commercial pours, or tunnelling jobs, these pumps are designed to deliver.
And here’s the kicker: they come mounted on crawler undercarriages. That means they’re not just powerful; they’re mobile. With the ability to crawl across rough, uneven ground, the CARTRACK series goes where traditional trailer-mounted pumps hesitate. Operators get the best of both worlds — high-output pumping combined with jobsite agility.
The Patented PULSAR Pump
Let’s talk about the real hero under the hood: Mecbo’s patented PULSAR pump. This isn’t your average concrete pump. The long-stroke piston system translates to fewer cycles and less movement, which means more concrete gets pushed through with less wear and tear.
Scott Knighton, co-CEO of Blastcrete Equipment LLC, sums it up: “Track-mounted pumps are not new to this market, but what we’ve done is add Mecbo’s patented PULSAR pump, which offers more power and lower maintenance demands.”
This translates into tangible benefits for contractors:
- Higher efficiency when pumping over long distances
- Minimal pressure fluctuation
- Reduced maintenance and downtime
The PULSAR pump isn’t just innovative — it’s practical. It was designed with a clear understanding of the real-world conditions concrete contractors face every day.
Simple, Rugged, Efficient
One of the most underrated features of the CARTRACK series? The remote control. And no, it’s not a fancy touchscreen that’ll get gummed up with concrete dust. It’s a reliable toggle radio remote control. Smooth handling, zero fuss.
As Knighton explains: “They don’t need bells and whistles, they need a simple, rugged, efficient system.” That ethos runs through every aspect of the P6 and P7’s design. The machines are built with two large maintenance hatches, making routine upkeep a breeze.
Tailored for the Toughest Jobs
Need more options? The CARTRACK pumps can be fully customised to suit your project:
- Optional water pump and compressor for challenging mixes
- Hopper screen vibrator to tackle harsh aggregates
- Pipelines and accessories for specialised applications
- Diesel versions with soundproofing for urban or night-time work
- Walkway, steps, handrails and lights for added safety
Both models are versatile enough to be mounted on wheels or trucks if crawler mobility isn’t a fit for your jobsite.
Speedy Support and Spare Parts
All Mecbo America machines are supported through Blastcrete’s experienced technicians and applications experts based in Anniston, Alabama. With a warehouse stocked with the full spectrum of wear parts, they can ship anywhere across the Americas in record time.
That means less downtime. Less hassle. And far fewer headaches.
“With more than 75 years in the concrete pumping business, our team understands what customers want; and we work hard to give the best functionality to ensure easy and maintenance-free operation,” Knighton added.
A Transatlantic Partnership with Muscle
The creation of Mecbo America isn’t just about bringing new equipment to market. It’s about synergy. Blastcrete, a staple in the shotcrete and refractory equipment market for over seven decades, has long built its reputation on reliability, safety and usability. Mecbo, on the other hand, brings advanced Italian engineering to the table, refined through decades of concrete pumping innovation.
This partnership ensures that Mecbo’s cutting-edge technology finds a foothold in the Americas with robust service and support to match. It also opens the door for Blastcrete to incorporate Mecbo pump technology into their own trailer-mounted pumps for niche markets like pool construction and high-volume commercial pours.
The Bigger Picture
Concrete pumping has seen waves of innovation over the years, but the industry is now at a turning point. Contractors demand more than raw power. They need mobility, lower maintenance, reduced emissions, and smart, safe operation. The CARTRACK P6 and P7 check all those boxes.
With an increasing shift towards jobsite efficiency, especially in remote and urban projects where space and access are premium commodities, tracked pumps like these are gaining traction fast.
Ready for the Next Generation of Construction
Mecbo America’s new launch is more than just an equipment announcement. It’s a commitment to solving age-old jobsite challenges with smarter engineering, faster service, and reliable partnerships.
For forward-thinking contractors, developers, and project managers, the CARTRACK series presents a solution that’s not just built for today — it’s engineered for tomorrow.
